TWENTY SIXTH fEAR
PANAMA, R. P.. MONDAY, MARCH It. 1851
FIVE CENTS
Ike For A-Bomb
Use; Strategic
Value Is Test
WASHINGTON, March 12 (UP) General Dwight
D. Eiienhower believes Russia's leaders would be really
fools" to start a war against the United States, and he
would use the atom bomb "instantly" if it would mean
sufficient strategic destruction.
Eisenhower gave these views in a secret session teb.
1 before the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations
system governing the use of
United States troops In his com-
mand. _
He said the Atlantic Pact co-
operative defense effort should
be functioning satisfactorily in
two years.

committee.
Elsenhower's views were given
In response to Senator William
Fulbright who said he was con-
cerned at the apparent growing
opinion that under no circums-
tances should the United States
use the atom bomb first In war.
Elsenhower's reply was: "To
my mind the use of the atom
bomb would be on this basis:
Does It advantage me, or does It
not. when I get Into a war?
"Now If I felt that the material
destruction I was going to ac-
complish was not equal to some
moral or great reaction other-
wise to this act then I would
abstain.
"If I thought the net was on
my side I would use It Instantly
because I proceeded from this
basis: the United States Is not
going to declare war or conduct
an aggressive campaign. It Is go-
ing merely to defend Itself, and
If someone in spite of Its peaceful
purposes Jumps on It, I believe In
using what we have In defend-
ing ourselves."
His answer seemed significant
because he had stated that the
United States' great contribution
to Western defense, must be long-
range air power and sea power,
plus technlcologlcal know how,
and that the West can't hope to
match Russia's armies man for
man.
Only President Harry S. Tru-
man can release atom bombs to
the military forces, but Elsen-
hower as Atlantic Pact com-
mander would certainly have a
strong voice In advising the Pre-
sident on this score.
Elsenhower, now at his Atlan-
tic Pact supreme command head-
quarters In Paris, cautioned Sen-
ators not to be overly Impressed
by Russian propaganda regard-
ing 8ovlet military strength.
He said the West's Internation-
al force could meet the Russian
threat with numbers "far, far be-
low" those of Russia's armies,
and could make "rather signifi-
cant portions of Western Europe
safe."
He said that In war her satel-
lites would become one of Rus-
sia's greatest sources of weak-
ness, Instead of strength. His
command was giving close atten-
tion to dissident elements In the
Soviet slave states, and he felt
their disruptive power would
grow as a war went on.
Regarding troops limitations

would be an error If Congress

So far, at this conference of

Russia has stood firmly for

accept.
Gromyko Is expected to give
some more clues about the So-
viet position auain today when
he is scheduled to deliver his
promised answer to the West's
compromise agenda.
The United States delegation
was sceptical that
would show any inclination to
compromise.

The government is considering an
order that would force manufac-
turers to roll back price rises
since the Korean war not based
on actual Increases In costs, it
was disclosed today.
Harold Leventhal, General
Counsel of the Office of Price
Stabilization, told a radio audi-
ence that that Is the "general
concept" of a regulation now be-
ing studied by price officials.
He would not predict when It
may be put Into effect, but said
It should lead to retail price cuts
because, when it Is, the profit
margins of most retailers will be
frozen. Any such cuts in factory
prices would be passed along to
the consumer.
The OPS already has clamped
profit or "markup" ceilings on
more than 230.000 retail stores
dealing In furniture, clothing and
department store items. It is ex-
pected to Issue orders this week
placing "markup" ceilings on
many food items at retail and
wholesale levels.

Eric Johnston was slated to meet
with Industry and labor repre-

program back on the track.
He is trying to force a compro-
mise between labor's Insistence
that the Wage Board should also
handle labor disputes, and Indus-
try's refusal to accept such a pro-
gram. Union leaders have indi-
cated they will end their boycott
of the Wage Board If it is allow-
ed to handle disputes. They say if
they are going to be responsible
to avert strikes in the emergen-
cy, they need government ma-
chinery to settle their disputes.

Panama Mayor Angel Vega
Mndez today Issued a bitter
statement to absolve himself
from blame for not signing sev-
eral habeas corpus resolutions Is-
sued against him.
The Mayor's statement came
after Fourth Circuit Judge Man-
uel Burgos on Saturday instruct-
ed the National Police to bring
Hm i? Ve8a Mndez into court to report
on a petition for a habeas corpus
writ issued in favor of Esteban
Huertas Ponce who is still being
held.
Vega Mndez today Issued the
report, but he stated that It was
not done "because of the insin-
uation of arrest made by
Judge Burgos, since I am accus-
tomed to the imprisonment, at-
tacks and persecutions which
were applied in those times when
there were no Judges, no law, no
ministers...."
The Mayor then proceeded to
compare the "jealous attitude" of
present judicial authorities with
what he termed their attitude
under former Liberal govern-
ments. (He Is a member of the
Partido Revolucionarlo Autenti-
co.)
He stated that he had not sign-
ed the habeas corpus resolutions,

Rush Turkish Bases
By EDGAR G. CLARK
ANKARA, March 12 (UP)
United States construction crews
are rushing completion of a pro-
tective ring of Turkish airfields
the nearest of which is less than
1,200 miles south of Moscow.
That Is roughly three hours fly-
ing time.
The Installations for both
fighters and heavy bombers
Including atom bomb carriers
are the closest major Western
fields to the Russian heartland
and will serve for both defensive
nd offensive purposes.
Defensively thev will screen
the great Middle East oilfields
and complete Western air de-
fenses for the eastern Mediter-
ranean and the Suez Canal.
They can also give effective sup-
port in the event of a Russian
attack on Iran.
Offensively the Turkish fields
some of which are new while
others are improvements of ex-
sting sites brig Western heavy
bombers to within one hour's
flying time of the Comlnform's
main oil centers in the Caucases
and Romania.
(Editors note: Friends on
Use isthmus recalled todav
that after closing of the Armv
District Engineer's local office
last summer a number of En-
gineer employees and their
families went to Turkey on
military construction work.
The group included:
(L. W. McBride. Mrs. Me-
Bride and their two children:
Larry Brogg ini and Mrs. Brog-
glnl, the former Margaret Al-
ley; Miss. Margaret Sand ford
and an engineer named
Treese.)
Much of the American work, as
well as the location of several
of the fields, Is top secret. One
major project is at Adana, in the
great fertile plain at the north-
eastern corner of the Mediter-
ranean. Reportedly a future site
for B-36's and large planes it is
one of the best locations in this
part of the world from the stand-
points of supply and natural de-
fense.
Protected by fighter screens
based on the islands of Crete and
Cyprus, seaborne supplies to A-
dana can be discharged at the
adjacent ports of Alexandretta
and Mersin. On the land side, the
Adana plain is almost complete-
ly surrounded by the Taurus
Range manv of whose peaks are
over 20.000 feet.
Another Important field Is at
Dlyarbekir In eastern Anatolia
near the southwestern ap-
proaches to Mt. Ararat.
On the other side of this fron-
tier mountain western pilots fly-
ing between Turkey and Iran
frequently report seeing Russian
planes massed on fields around
Erevan, gateway to the Caucas-
ian airfields.
The fact that Mt. Ararat looks
down directly on Russian Arme-
nia and its airfields Is believed
to be the reason for Russia's ob-
jection to the recent requests of
a United States party for Turk-
ish permission to renew the

TOKYO, March 12 (UP)
While General Douglas MacAr-
thur said today that the Com-
munist leaders are out to gain
control of the entire world. Gen-
eral Matthew B. Rldgway said he
thought it would be a tremend-
ous victory for the United Na-
tions if the Korean War should
end at the 38th parallel.
Rldgway knew of no plan to
end the war at this boundary.
Last week MacArthur appealed
again to the United Nations for
a diplomatic decision, and rei-
terated that he would not ssnd
the United Nations forces across
the parallel If cogent political
reasons against such a move
existed.
Said MacArthur In Tokyo: "The
present aggression In Asia Is be-
ing masterminded by men who
want to Impose Communism on
the entire world, and who are
willing to resort to force to gain
their end.
"Asia Is the gateway to their
plans. They seize power as a
springboard to more power, with-
out the slightest regard for geo-
graphical or political boundaries.
Their ambition Is insatiable.
"The Communist threat Is still
great despite the fact that its
challenge was accepted and has
been surcessfully met to retard
Its advance.
"The people of Asia are not so
Interested In ideologies as they
are in a decent way of life In
enough to eat and enough to
wear. As poverty lifts so will the
threat of Internal violence. But
until that time the false promises
of Communism will prove at-
tractive to many."

to return to the United States

was signed but the Korean War

Red Mata Hans Haunt Bars
To Pry West Germam Secrets
By MENNO DUERKSEN
o
FRANKFURT, Germany, Mar.
12 (UP) The Russians are
using sexy "Mata Harl" to pay
military information out of
American and allied soldier In
West Germany, according to
German officials.
These officials, who examined
hundreds of girls last month as
part of a campaign against ven-
eral disease, said they are con-
vinced many are employed by
the Russians or east zone Com-
munists to get military informa-
Many of the girls originally
come from the Russian zone
crossing the border illegally, but
somehow managing to get resi-
dence papers.
Allied officials declined to
comment on the story officially
but several allied sources agreed
that "It is probably true."
One of the German offi-
cials, who was an officer
with the German occupa-
tion army in France during
tbe war, said "the girls are
working exaetly as the
Frnech girls did for the
French underground dur-
ing the war.'' He added:
"They date as many soldiers
as possible and after getting a
few drinks into the boys they
primp them about furlonghs.
movements, new arrivals, milita-
ry banes', etc.
"One girl probably doesn't get
ver/ much Information but
someone patches all the little
bits from each girl together and
makes a pattern that may be
quite important."
German police and health of-
ficials said they are helpless to
wipe out this widespread prosti-
tution under present laws. A
prostitute may operate legally
prvolded she carries a health
card which certifies she has
had a physical examination
within nine days.
Under these conditions
young German girls, many
of them pretty and weartng
good clothes swarm around
hotels, bars and cafes in
every town where troops are
stationed.
Others work from highways.
From dusk to the early hours of
the morning dozens of the girls
line every major highway lead-
ing out of Frankfurt, waving
their thumb at every Jeep or
car bearing an American license
but largely Ignoring Germans.
One allied source said this
problem will become more ser-
ious In the near future, with al-
lied troops reinforcement sche-
duled to arrive in West Ger-
many and with a defense sys-
tem being built up here.

"If at first you don't succeed,"

..aid is a model of perseverance.
Wei opened the Jack of dia-
monds, dummy tovered with the
queen, bv.i East put up the king.
South won .he first trick with the
; ace of di. nio.ids and had to find
a way of getting rid of his dla-
Imond loser before he could af-
ford tc draw trumps.
After some thought. South
cashed the ace of hearts and led
a club to dummy's king In order
to lead the king of hearts from
dummy. Much to South's dismay,
East ruffed the king of hearts.
South was obliged to over-ruff.
Since the diamond loser wai
still with him. South next led a
club to dumy's ace and returned
the queen of hearts from dummy.
Once more East ruffed, and South
over-ruffed.
By this time, South was In the
swing of things. He therefore led
a third club from his hand. West
dared not ruff with the ace of
trumps, since then dummy would
i card the losing diamond. In-
vSr.cl. West discarded a heart,
rid dummy ruffed. The Jack of
hearts was returned from dum-
my, and East ruffed for the third
time.
South had been hoping that
East would eventually have to
ruff with the ace of trumps. In
that case. South would merely
discard his diamond loser. As It
was. South had to over-ruff for
the third time.
At this point, however, the on-
ly trump held by the opponents
was the ace. South could there-
fore safely lead another club and
ruff In dummy. He returned to
his hand by ruffing a heart in
order to lead the the last club.
This permitted him to discard the
losing diamond from dummy.
The opponents could take the
ace of trumps whenever they
liked, but that was all they could
get.

World War II Air Ace Gets
Orders to Return to Duty
SIOUX FALLS, 8.D.. March 12,
(UP) Joe Fosa, Marine air ace
who shot down 26 Japanese
planes and won the Congression-
al Medal of Honor, got his orders
today to go back into uniform.
"A lot of things are dlfferc.it

said. "This time you know what
it's like. The last time lt was all
a big mystery and a little exciting.
But now you know what war Is
that it's dangerous, that men get

Foss, a colonel, was ordered to
report March 16 to headquarters
of the Central Air Defense Force

Kansas City, Mo. His assignment
was not specified, but he hopes
it will be with a tactical un*.
That is the reason he recently

"A lot of people thought I was
asking for the first boat to Ko-

it. I want to go wherever devel-
opments take me and If its back
to combat, okay. But I want to
get off the list so I can be assign-
ed to something besides adminis-
tration or training. I want duty
with a tactical unit."
Nationalists Ask
UN Action to Slop
China Red Killings
TAIPEI, Formosa, March 12
(UP) Nationalist China de-
manded today that the United
Nations take Immediate and ef-
lective action against the Chi-
nese Communists for slaughter-
ing hundreds of thousands of
persons In a ruthless purge of
"unreliable" elements.
The Control Yuan, the high-
est supervisoiy body in the Na-
tionalist Government, submit-
ted Its demand to the UN at
Lake Success In a formal reso-
lution .
The Chinese delegation at
Lake Success was instructed to
follow lt up and ask the UN
to take action sufficiently stern
to stop the "inhuman atroci-
ties" of the Reds. The Nation-
alist complaint to the UN said:
"The Chinese Reds, madly yet
with determination, are pursu-
ing their avowed purpose of
killing 150,000,000 people."
The resolution reminded the
UN that missionaries of the
Western democracies were
among the victims.
The National 'Defense Minis-
try asserted on March 3 that
the communists had killed 1,000,
000 men on the mainland in the
last few months. The disclosure,
it was asserted, came from first
hand Information.
Last Monday the defense mi-
nistry said that out of this es-
timated total victims In the
red purge 200.000 had been Iden-
tified with the aid of National-
ist agents operating under-
ground on the mainland.
Last Thursday the Defense
Ministry asserted that In De-
cember the Communists killed
196.000 persons in three south-
ern provinces alone.

Racial Segration In South
Facing Crucial Legal Test
COLUMBIA, 8.C.. Mar. 12 (UP)
The South's explosive Issue of
racial segregation In public
schools was heading In South Ca-
rolina today for a showdown
which may be decided by the UJ3.
8upreme Court this year.
A federal tribunal In May will
test one of the strongest legal at-
tacks yet made upon the 75-year-
old principle of segregation In
public schools In a pase that ul-
timately may affect 17 southern
states.
The suit pits Gov. James F.
Byrnes, former US. Supreme
Court Justice, against the Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
which is using its top legal ad-
viser, Thurgood Marshall.
Byrnes, In the background. Is
marshalling everv resource of the
state. Responsible South Caroli-
neans are aware of the stakes,
and know "this is it" as far as
public school segregation Is con-
cerned.
Many persons believe this Is
the reason Byrnes came out of re-
tirement to become Governor at
71, after serving as U. S. Senator,
Secretary of State, Assistant to
President F. D. Roosevelt and Su-
preme Court Justice.
Squarelv In the middle of the
legal battle Is Federal Judge J.
Waties Waring of Charleston, who
In 1947 made himself unpopular
with a large segment of the
state's white population by rul-
ing out the all-white primary
Waring has ordered the suit
heard May 28 by a tribunal In-
cluding himself, Circuit Judge
John J. Parker of Charlotte. N.C..
and District Judge George B.
Timmerman of Columbia.
Marshall and other NAACP at-
torneys filed the suit in Warlngs
court last December on behalf of
Negro parents of Clarendon
County, a rural community with
more Negroes than whites.
They demanded an end of seg-
regation Itself, declaring lt to be
discriminatory. Instead of de-
manding the "equal" through se-
parate school facilities that oth-
er discrimination suits In the
South have demanded.
Regardless of which side wins,
the decision will be appealed to
the U. S. Supreme Court, which Is
expected to get the case by fall
and render a decision before 1952.
South Carolina, under Byrnes'
leadership, Is racing against tlmp
to prepare a defense that will
prove the state is determined to
provide Negroes "separate but
equal" school facilities.
A school Improvement program
now nearing passage in the legis-
lature includes a $75.000,000
school building and transporta-
tion program designed to equal-
ize and improve school facilities.
Byrnes labeled this program
"absolutely essential" to the de-
fense of a segregation prlnclole
written Into the state constitu-
tion.
In his Inaugural address.
Byrnes said. "'We will find a law-
ful way of educating all of South
Carolina's children and at tbe
same time providing separate
schools for the races."
He blamed the efforts to over-
throw segregation on "politicians
in Washington and the Negro
agitators in South Carolina."

AMERICAN
PRESS
KEY WEST, Fla.. March 12,
(UP) President Harry Truman
yesterday set In motion a vast
program for building an atomic-
age fleet. Including a super air-
craft carrier capable of launch-
ing atomic bombers.
Mr. Truman signed a bill au-
thorizing an immediate start on a
$2,000,000,000 naval expansion
program. It calls for 500,000 tons
in new naval construction, in
eluding a 57,000 to 60,000-ton car-
rier, and modernizing 1,000,000
tons of existing ships.
This is by far the biggest na-
val construction program under-
taken by the United States in
peacetime.
The program will take two
years to complete.
The big carrier, however, will
not be completed for 3-i years. It
will replace the 65,000 USS Uni-
ted States which was cancelled
bx Defense Secretary Louis John-
son in 1949 after the keel had
been laid.
Mr. Truman signed the bill late
Saturday, but lt was not an-
nounced until yesterday.
The Presidentthrough his
Press Secretary also batted
down reports that he has fired
mink-coated Mrs. E. Merl Young
as a White House stenographer.
The Little White House said Mrs.
Young's status hasn't changed,
but ;t refused to say whether she
has offered to resign or will be
transferred to another Job.
Mrs. Young Is the wife of the
former RFC expediter who has
been named In the Senate's RFC
investigation as a key figure in
"influencing" RFC members in
making government loans.
It was a busy Sunday for the
President. He attended services
at the 103-year-old First Baptist
Church of Key West, joined the
congregation in prayer and
hymn-singing and heard a ser-
mon by the Rev. George McNeil
Ray on "The Church or the
WorldWhich?"

mission and named Alonzo G.
Moron, president of the Hampton
(Va.) Institute, to succeed him.
3.Got an up-to-date report
from Presidential Counsel Chas.

TOPI ( Am KIS FIRST PLACE
IN Hi BOR RIFLE TRY-OUT
Sturtevant Tpdhunter Todd. the old Texlcan Irom |1 Paso,
came down out of the back country around Big Tree Sunday
and showed 11 those young whipper snappers who was boss wltn
the big rifle. The match was a qualification and try-out over
Ule DCM course prior to next Sunday's big team match at Em-
pire.
Todd put on his usual act of walling, gnashing of teeth and
bea.ti.ng Ws forehead, on mother earth, and anyone wJe ,5
would have thought he was hitting everything but the target.
In the meantime all of his shots except six went into the black,
and in spite of his breast beating, he ended up with 189. When
Todd took up shooting, Hollywood lost an accomplished recruit.
What has Lana Turner got that Todd hasn't got wll, tne
. sports page is hardly the place to discuss that!
Five shooters fired 187. and unfortunately, they couldn't all
five pick up second place award. However, when the scores were
i'broken down and the ties broken. Fred Well of Balboa was in
' second place, and Paul LaRochelle of the Marines was third.
Set. Clayton Breckon of the Army, and Andrew Pompura and J.
R. Weeks of the Marines also fired 187.
Preparations are going forward for the big team match to
be held on Sunday March 18th at the Empire Range over this
same course. It looks at present like there will be a good turn
"out. and it is expected that about 14 firing points will be used
Although the regular armv teams will be missing on account of
maneuver*, there will be some army men shooting as individuals
' i.d some under the colors o the Balboa Gun Club. Cristbal
? 'Will have a team present, in addition to the teams from Balboa.
"Marine Barracks and Albrook-Curundu Gun Clubs.
Petall* on the match are as follows 39 shot DCM qualifi-
cation course at 200 yards, clubs may enter either four or five
man teams, and in either case, four high scores count. Entry
lees are $2.00 per man. and half of this goes to pit operation
and half to awards. Any Individual who is an American citizen
aver 18 years of age may enter as an individual and compete for
;tyie individual awards.
It is rumored that Ihere mav be a new trophy donated to
' be fired for annually In this match, and if there are more de-
-tails available before match time they will be announced later.
' The big question now is. who is going to replace the 45th Cavalry
as reigning over the big bore shooters in 1951?
The individual scores in Sunday's try-out match were as fol-

Baby Green Cops Bantamweight
Title By K.OHng Cesar Leal
i
Baby Green again outclassed!
Cesar Leal last nightbut this:
time at the Panam National
Gym for the bantamweight
championship of the Republic o;
Panam and by a knockout In
the fifth round.
Leal. 118-pound king of the Re-
public for the past five years,
was a heavy favorite to retain his
orown. However. Cesar seemed
only a shadow of the famed "Pun-
tillea" who used to knock 'em
kicking only a couple of years
ago.
Green, who usually makes
front 128 to 134 pounds, came In
at only US'a which was anoth-
er reason the bettors steered
e|ear of h(m. Leal was .Just un-
der the 118-pound limit at
117*..
The first round had little ac-
tlon as both boys studied each
other. The second and third were
better than the first but it was
Major League Owners
i Meet Today In Effort
To Elect Commissioner
MIAMI, Florida, March 12 (UP) laiaball's feud
with Commissioner A. I. Chandler reaches a climax today.
The 16 Major League dub owners will matt at Miami
to elect a Commissioner, lut there is doubt whether they
will succeed.
The meeting was called after the owners voted last
December not to renew Chandler's $65,000 a year contract
when it expires April 30th, 1952. At that time only nine
owners voted to renew Chandler's contract three short
ffiRfenu&uBl*' &&& #L *. DM.k.......
ing and now he is a candidate to succeed himself. Some
30 other names will be submitted to the owners as candi-
dates for the post.
A source close to the Commissioner says Chandler is
confident he will be re-elected this time.
Green.
Leal had a slight edge In the
first three rounds by virtue of
several looping overhand lefts
which landed and more aggres-
slveness. Cesar twice hit Green
flush on the jaw with his onoe
famous haymaker but the blows
didn't even stagger Green.
The "Babe" came out fast for
the fourth. He met Leal in the
center of the ring and immedi-
ately started to take over after
several brisk exchanges.
Green decidedly had the edge
In the exchanges, in the infight-
ing and landed the more solid
blows when thev sparred at a dis- i
tance. At the end of the fourth.,
each lad had a lump under an I
eye. Green's right eye started to
get puffy and Leal's left orbit
started to close.
The fifth was a repetition of
the fourth until the end came.
After several thrilling exchangee
In which both fighters slugged it
out toe-to-toe, Green maneuver-
ed Leal into a corner and landed
several terrific body blows that
doubled up Cesar. A flurry of
rights and lefts to the Jaw sent
Leal crumpling to the floor.
While the referee tolled off
the count. Leal floundered
around on the canvas and wax
stafferint to his feet and half
hanflnc against the ropes
when Referee Rogelio Pinzn
yelled, "Ten."
Jr. College Coach
Honored By Student
Association Of CZ
At a farewell dance given in
honor of their athletic coach, the
Student Association of the Ca-
nal Zone Junior College present-
ed Ed Beckman with a handsome
trophy. It was given in apprecia-
tion of his fine work as coach of
all sports at Junior College dur-
ing the past three years enabl-
ing them to field winning teams
and tu acquire a showcase full of
trophies.
Beckman revealed that he has
accepted a position as teacher
and coach at Key West High
School in Florida. He will leave
i the Isthmus on March 23 and be-
gin spring football practice at
Key west on April 1. Key West
High has never had a football

loud squawk, claiming that Ce-
sar was on his feet before the fin-
al countbut to no avail. Pin-
zn ruled a knockout. If the fight
had been continued Leal would
only receive a more severe beat-
ingat least, that was the con-
sensus of opinion.
At the end of the bout, Leal's
left eye was completely closed. His
right eye was semi-closed and he m
to introduce high school football
to this community of 20.000 peo-
ple.
It was pointed out bv Beckman
that Kev West is the closest high
school in the U.S.A. to the Canal
Zone and perhaps some games
could be scheduled with a local
school.

"You can tell from l
in bimstlf. His clothes are neat and look at bit
shoes. Always well polished. Mark my words, that
man will get promotion."
No better clue to a smart man than well-polishex)
shoes! No shoe polish gives a more lasting thine than
Kiwi Made only from rhc ':i?st waxes and dvri
bled from the nose and mouth.
Green looked every bit a cham-
pion last night.
Sammy Medina scored a clear-
cut unanimous ten-round deci-
sion over Tolentino Diaz who
substituted for Luis Thompson.
Thompson weighed in at 13S
pounds against Sammy's 122'..
The Medina-Thompson contest
was listed as an elimination for
the 126-pound championship.
Thompson will have to be drop-
ped from the list of featherweight
contenders.
Here .main Sylvester Wallace
and his handler. Cecil McCalla.
were given the run-around.
Hallare, who is in steady train-
ing requested the chance to
meet Medina for the right to
clash with Kid Evans for the
feather title. However, Wallace
wasn't riven the break.
Instead. Diazmuch heavier
than Wallace at 130 poundswas
chosen to meet Medina. It devel-
oped that Tolentino had not
trained to fight. However, Diaz
put up a good showing against
Medina.
There were no knockdowns in
the Medina-Diaz bout but Sammy
staggered Tolentino on several
occasions,
The six-round sDecial between
Black Bill and Vicente Worrell
ended in a decision which had
many fans squawking. It was a
veritable "hometown" verdict,
since Bill Is from Colon and Wor-
rell from Panama.
Rill, weighing 124',. easllv
won at least four of the six
rounds. Just before the hell
rang to end the fifth. Worrell,
124. landed a short left to the
jaw which felled Bill in his own
corner.
Bill was out cold but the "ref" ,
didn't even get close to start
counting when the bell rang.
Black Bill's handlers worked over
him feverishly during the min-
ute's rest but their boy was re-
vived and went out to get an even
break in the last round.
The majority of the fans pro-
tested the decision. It was really
a 'cockeyed" decision.
The students and faculty of the
Junior College expressed their re-
gret In losing the coach as he is
extremely popular with all the
students on the Isthmus. The
dance was held at the Sailfish
Club and was well attended by
Junior College students and fac-
ulty as well as many high school
students.
James Milton punched out a
clear-cut split decision over Baby
Valentino In the four-round pre-
liminary. Milton weighed 1223
agairv. Valentine's 123'i. This
fight was real thriller from
start to finish.

The SHSGs (Summit Hills Sweater Girls) today were well on
the way to winning the 1831 Inter-Club Matches championship
following yesterday's accomplishment of the impossible at Fort
Amador.
The SGs took a distinct liking to the hard and fast Amador
layout and smacked might.v Panama W: to 13'j to rock the
vaunted Panama Club giants back on their heels for the first
time into these many years.
Aneon Blue Devils Nip
Curundu "D" Team, 7-6
In one of the hottest contested
battles in the Physical Education
and Recreation Junior Baseball
League during the current sea-
son, the Ancon "D" team came
from behind to edge a fighting
Curundu nine by the score of 7
to 6.
In the Ancon-Curundu melee,
both aggregations were on the
over-confident side, due to the
Importance of the game, however.
Hayden. pitcher for Curundu did
a bang-up job behind strong sup-
port of his team holding the Blue
Devils to a score of 6 to 1 going
Into the fourth inning.
In the fourth the Ancon team
suddenly awoke to the situation
with Rene Henrlquez slashing the
ball to deep center field for a
round-trlpper. Lopez. Nahmond,
Davis and Mead all contributed
a hit and a run for a 6 to 6 dead-
lock in the fifth and extra In-
ning.
In the sixth inning little Ron-
nie Mead, the mighty mite held
Coach Pialas team In tow and
retired the side in grand fash-
ion. The end of the sixth saw lit-
tle eleven-year-old Dickie Duran
draw a walk, steal second and
third, and brought home by a
Texas leaguer hit by his bigger
brother Paul Duran, thus ending
the ball game. Score 7 to 6.

The win gave Summit a big
edge In the corresponding plav
of Ihe two teams and, although
the tournament is not officially
over until next Sunday, the situ-
ation Is all but wrapped up In a
neat little cellophane package.
AU the sweater-olad beerboys
have to do next Sunday Is get 23
points from a woebegone Fort
Davis outfit that so far has had
mucho trouble even gattlng 20
players to use the overlapping
grip (they were short three yes-
terday when Brazos Brook took
26 points).
And jo the title most certainly
will leave the rolling Sabanas and
wind up in Summit where every-
one agrees it is richly deserved.
The Summlteers really whoop-
ed up the tournament spirit this
year and went after the bunting
with a vengeance. They startled
Brazos on opening day, crushed
Amador the next time out, and
yesterday stopped cold the star-
laden Panama powerhouse.
Undaunted and unmoved by
Panama's scintillating lineup,
the SGs appeared on the scene
with their regular roster. Riled
up perhaps (or maybe RHeved up1
by the talk Panam would, knock
them kicking, they promptly pro-
ceeded to Jump out in front and

George RUey. of the long-leg-
ged brothers, led the parade by-
teaming with "apt. Gene Hoch-
stedler to smack the No. 1 man of
them all, Johnny MacMurray,
and his partner George Novey, for
all three points. j
Doc Mitten, teaming with Lui*
Chandeck, was another of Pan-
ama's shining stars to plummet.
The Doc was brought down to
size by the stout combination of
DiQk Thompson and Jack Lally.
Still another toughie combina-
tion that fell was that of Pro An-
bal Macarrn and Thatcher 0?to-
be* who just couldn't put out th*
fire when Al (The Hati Saarlner
and Dave "Roundhouse" Mahon-
ey started burning up the course
on the in nine.
Panam made one sweep when
Doc Gerrans and Syl Bubb team-
ed up beautifully and they had
other wins and splits here and
there but they couldn't pub
enough of thsm together to get
up to Summit.
The SGs saw. thev went, and
they conquered and today th*
Isthmian golfers doffed their caps
to them. It was a jab well don*,
and It put a lot of life back Into
Inter-Club play.

dable Sam Snead. were within at
least two shots striking distance.
But "Big Jim'' stuck out his
chin and hammered in a final
round 69. three strokes under par
against Snead's 68. It was a clear-
cut victory, however, because
Ferrier was four under par and a
certain winner before getting a
bogey on the final hole.
Ferrler's $2,000 first prize, plus
a like amount collected from his
St. Petersburg Open victory last
week, moved nlm closer to Lloyd
Mangrum of Chicago at the top
of the 1951 golf money list. Fer-:
rler now has $6,282.50. while Man-
grum collected $308 yesterday to
bank $7,126.33 for the year.
Tied with Snead. of White Sul-
phur 8prings, W. Va., in second
Slace was Chuck Klein of San An-
unio. Tex., who shot a 6. Their
274 totals were worth $1,200 each.
Tommy Bolt of Durham, N. C,
came in with a 69276 for fourth
money of $880.
Ferrler's victory marked the
first time he had ever won two
tournaments in a row. He admit-
ted he was playing the "hottest
streak" of his career.

course, some excellent scores
were turned In.
Sue Johnston won medalist
honors with a 91-2417. Eileen
De Luca had a fine round of 98-

ing'' contest ended in a tie be-
tween Rebecca Peacher and VIS

THE HEALING OF WOUND
"Than said Jesus. Father, for-
give them, for they knew not
what they do. St. Luke 23:34.
consider the spiritual scare
Christ our Lord has borne for u.
They go much deeper than tht
physical wound that He bore for
us on Calvary. The care of In-
difference "What, could ye not
watch with me ope hour?": of
Disloyalty Peter and his de-
nial; of Hate Judas-and the.
Last Supper; of Injustice tho
Trials of Jesu.
Pity relaxes clenched fist and
clung thtm Into hand clasp-
ed in prayer, it leads even US In-
to the ability to pray for those
who have deeply injured either
ouraelves or our loved ones. 'Fa-
ther, forgive them, for they know
not what they do."
Truly, the perpetrator of mean-
ness or cruelty does NOT know
what he is doing. He never fore-
see the full train of result toa;
he set in motion. His imagina-
tion ha not been sensitized to
enter into the suffering that he
is causing.
He knows not, moreover, wl>a*.
he is doing to HIMSELF; how he
s starving and distorting his own
spirit. He doe not even see It
yetenough to cry out for for-
giveness. Another must pray for
him: "Father, forgive him, for
he knows not....'.'
The moment we take that pray-
er upon our lip, we realize that
only One ever had the right to
pray It without adding: "Fa'.her,
forgive ME, for I know not what
I do."
When we have reached the
point of Intercession for the
person whom we once "hated,
we find that our real place Is not
up on a pedestal but down beside
him. likewise In need of our Fa-
ther's forgiveness. Pray that God
wl help you heal the wounds
caused by indifference, disloyal-
ty, hate, or Injustice.

Wheris Nude Not Quite Nude,
London And Paris Both Ask
By ROBERT MU8EL
Pacific Literary
Club Activities
WUl Be Renewed
Plan are being made to re-
sume the activities of the Pacific
Literary Club In the near future.
Founded in 1931, the club ha.;
had many periods of Inactivity,
but a nucleus of interested mem-
bers has carried on Its work.
Recently, the club held a meet-
ing at the home of Frank Austin
and Mrs. Austin. Future meetings
are planned at a convenient lo-
caUty.
' LONDON. March 12, (UP)
Britain and France are at odds cm
a question of international im-
portance how nude does a
show girl have to be before you
can call her nude?
The problem, which has not
yet touched the diplomatic level,
arose because this year for the
first time in its long history the
Folies Bergere is being staged by
the Brlitsh for a London run be-
fore crossing the Channel to Pa-
ris.
That means that the costumes,
or lack of costumes, devised by
the British will have to suit
French audience a well. It ap-
pears that what passes for nude, y
In one place may only be prudery
in the other.
Last year the Folies carne this
way from Paris and the pro-
ducer, Dick Hurran, sheared a
g-strlng a bit here and there
and discarded a handful of se-
quin which the French Insist-
ed were necessary to achieve a
fine balance of image and im-
agination.
For days Hurran has toyed with
strips of gold kid leather and dia-
mante Jewelry trying to figure
out how to cover the most with
the least.
RAW DREAM STALKING
OMAHA. Neb. (UP)A three-
year-old girl was suffering from
the after-effects of a super-dup-
er nightmare here. Sharon John-
son saw a few too many goblins
In her bad dream and toppled
from her bed. She was rushed to
a hospital and treated for head
cuts.

"What a problem," he groaned,
craning his neck at Georgette i
James, whose red-head tower a-
bove the snow Une.
We British have forthright
tastes Just as in food. Give us
plain roast beef and we're hap-
py. Th French are difieren-..
They like delicate sauces. Now we
like nudes that are nudes. The
French prefer a tiny element of
mystery as well.
"Under our cod, shew girrs
need wear nothing at aU If they
stand absolutely still. But in
deference to our sities, In peace
and war, we are going to scat-
ter a few millionyes million
sequins and some of this fan-
cy leather."
Hurran said It take millions of
sequins to make any Impression
on the six-feet, four-inch pink
expanse of Mis Jame or the
blonde and brunette loveliness -
in that orderof two other alx-
footers. Helena (Teacupsi Temp-
est and Bernlce Chapman, plus
the twenty rune other girls.
A visitor at the costume call re-
marked that there seemed to be
more than 32 girls milling about.
"No." said Hurrjn. "Just count
everything in sight and divide by
two."

Boyd supports a family of four
with" several home enterpii.-cs
but he said he would "like to sell
enough magazines to buy a small
plane and finance lessons for my
wife so I can fly often.
As It Is. I Just fool around the
airport when I can, and catch
rides."
Boyd was stricken In 1938 when
the nation became alarmed about
Infantile paralysis. He was 10
then, but refused to become de ;-
pondon'. because his body became
parilyzed and weakened.
Later he grew stronger and
married Connie Parsons, his pret-
ty boyhood sweetheart. They have
two sons. 6 and 4, who like io
straddle their father's iron lun
and ride It like a hobby horse.
Charlie eventually became a-
tle to leave his iron lung earli
day at first for short periods,
then longer ones. He openo.i a
magazine agency and spent
eral hours each day selling by te-
lephone.
On the side he ran a worm gar-
den and cricket orchard for u ;h-
ermen, but the bait business did
not pan out. He took up phoio-
grapny. The Boyds rigged a clos-
et as a dark room and now deve

LUCKLESS LADY
Balboa. C.Z.
Dear Mall Box:
I have a problem. I came here
to work about a year ago intend-
ing to try to get married. Alas, no
luck.
I had heard way up in the
States that there were a bunch
of wolves always hanging around
the clubhouse eager-beaverlng
any little old girl, but maybe I'm
too young.
What's this Community Service
all about anyway? They don't
earn their money according to
my way of reckoning, which is
mostly men. I should charge them
for all the shoeleather (and hurt
pride) which I've worn out par-
ading up and down that club-
house trying to attract attention.
I mean trying. Brother.
I am not at all unattractive.
You should see my girdle and bra
blMs. Also I'm trying not to be too
ojvIous. But I'm getting to the
end of my rope.
If I dont get a play from some
of those would-be devils soon. I
will remove my activities else-
Where" Disgust..!!
P.8.: I will be wearing different
green ensembles all next week.
WERE YO TIIIC?
Balboa. C.Z.
Dear Editor:
Here we are trying to win an-
other war and what are we doing
here in the Canal Zonei Most of
the letters In the Mall box have
been concerning the HARD
TIMES that prevail In the Canal
Zone.
What Is the matter -with the
people here? You are eating and
don't see any poverty clothes on
any of the workers. Wonder how
many of vou have somoene over
la Korea?
You have lots of clubs and or-
ganizations in the Zone which
could do plenty If the people who
belong to them would only sup-
port the organization. What hap-
pens??? A few go to the meetings
and where are the rest??? Are
they Interested in helping them-
selves??? No. Some organizations
do not have enough members pre-
sent to hold a meeting let alone
carry on any business. All the of-
ficers can do Is to try and appeal
to those present to contact the
others and get them out to the
meetings. The organizations are
for YOU and can t exist and ac-
complish MUCH without YOU.
Perhaps this letter to the Mall
Box may get a reader and my
message may get to a few more
people. You know the minister at
church prepares bis sermon and
it does not apply so much to the
ones who are there to listen to
him as to the ones who are not
there. How about it???
WERE YOU THERE???
You have some money In the
Credit Union or do you owe some?
The Credit Union has a meeting.
Were you there??? It Is your
money they are using but doesn't
that interest you?
You have so much to do but will
you protect your own Interests or
just let things ride??? So you
think you cant do much?? Well,
have you trted??r
Perhaps you can get along
without the church, the lodge,
the club, even the school, but
think about It and realize that
those things are your privilege
and will work for YOU and with
YOU, If YOU will Just do YOUR
part.
How about It??? Are you a
chum, or should I say chump??
Yours for better support In our
organizations.
Intedlcea*.
An incident occurred aboard
a battleship, In San Francisco
Bay back In IMS. which almost
delayed completion of our first
atom bomb. Only a few knew
of it. And It should be told
here for, more than any other
vignette It explains the behind-
ihe-tctnes bitterness disrupting
Washington today.
Barly In '45 one of the secret
Atomic Bntrgy trouble shooters
in the Manhattan Project re-
ceived an urgent telephone call
from Oak Ridge. Hi must get a
score of skilled bjs.rlcal en-
gineers. Immediately Trlple-A
must. Rip them out of any place
you find them. Rush them to
Oak Hldge and Los Alamos. Af-
ter a swift search, the trouble
shooter, L. Dale Hill, found the
engineers working aboard the
battlewagon in Frisco harbor.
He flew out for them. But even
his supreme priority couldn't
get them released.
A-Borab master, Oen. Oro'ei,
was summoned across country
Hill demanded the men. Oroves
opened his mouth to say some-
thing, then shut up and releas-
ed the men.
What Groves couldn't say was
that these engineers were equip-
ping the B. 8. Indianapolis to
carry the A-bomb to Ouam.
Hill wanted the men to
complete the bomb. But de-
spite Qrovet' authority and
permission, Hill couldn't au-
tomatically shi/t the en-
gineers not even for such
a project. First he had to ask
these men if they wanted ta-
co. Neither he nor the war
lime Government had the
power to draft citiiiians into
any job, The men went. But
freely.
That's exactly what the union
leaders are fighting for today.
All other issues are vital but
this Is basic. They suspect that
chief Mobillzer Charles E. Wi.-
son wants the power to contiol
civilians Just as the Dent, of
Defense controls Its soldiers,
and marines.
Powerful AFL leaders have
Just told their people every-
where that this would "spell tne
end of our free trade union
movement "...and they charge
that "czar" Wilson's control of
American manpower is "one of
the most serious setbacks which
labor has had so far."
Since this has split Wash-
ington wide open and has made
enemies of men who should lead
us unitedly, I put the question
directly to Mr. Wilson. His re-
ply, which he put in writing and
authorized me to publish is the
first public statement he has
made on the subject. He says:
"I knoiv of no one who has
proposed that consideration
shuold be given now to le-
gislation which would give
the government power to as-
sign workers to specific jobs.
"If such a proposal is
made at any time in the
future, I will not make up
my own mind on the propo-
sal until the matter has
been referred to representa-
tives of labor, management,
and agriculture and until I
have had the opportunity
of giving careful consider-
ation to their views."
Here Mr. Wilson says, bluntly
and on paper to the labor
leaders that no one in our high
command is planning civilian
conscription and that he would
not move nor make up his mind
until he consults with them.
With these words there is now
at least apparent basis for ham-
mering things out In a hotel
room filled with the smoke and
fury of Just two or three men.
It happens every day. In the
past week, for example, the
Defense Dept. has been in al-
most dally telephonic touch with
the ClO's striking textile lead-
ers.
Apparently the 70,000-man
walkout from the nation's big-
gest textile mills has cut pro-
duction .of uniforms for the
armed services. There's been
more than enough for the men
overseas. But the strike, ac-
cording to word from Oen.
Marshall's office, has Interfered
with the draft of youngsters.
So Ass't Secretary of Defens?
Anns Rosenberg got on the
phone and Informed the strike
leaders that the olive drab uni-
forms and woolen shirts were
needed unless- they wanted the
kids to drill in their shorts. The
union opened the picket lines
and the finished goods began
moving to harried sergeants be-
hind the quartermasters' count-
ers.
There was talk that the
Army might seize the Ame-
rican Woolen Co. It so, the
union men probably would
go back to work or their
government. But untu then
they insist upon negotiating
directly with their employ-
er with the White House
or General Marshall acting
onto as an objective media-
Slniilarly. when the Defense
Dept. told CIO chief Phil Mur-
ray that one of his strikes might
cripple tank production at the
American Locomotive Co., he
sent his men back into that par-
ticular plant. The tanks will roll
oil the line.
These labor chiefs lead Ame-
rican workers who want to be
free men In free unions. That's
understandable. Now they have
Mr. Wilton's written guarantee.
Let's get on with the war
against the enemy. Not each
ether.

Sap's Runnin'! In Fact It Never Stops

Secret Symptoms
By BOB RUARK
NEW YORK.The bulletin comes from Mexi-
co that the Ambassador is feeling pretty poor-
ly, what with the bronchitis and all, and hence
won't be able to fly up to testify before the
Senate crime commission, which convenes here
next week. _
Our sympathies are aU with Mr. O'Dwyre, Ev-
erybody has been feeling lousy, lately, especial-
ly, people with testifying to do. Heart flutters
are rampant in the land, as Senator Kefauver
barnstorms, nd the wracking cough is endemic,
as Is the rosy nose and seeping eyeball. I sup-
pose the national resistance is lowered, due to
mental depression, taxes, and general suspicion,
making us all victims of one horrid malady or
another.
It Is Just terrible that Mr. o'Dwyer can't make
it. to answer a few questions about corruption
under his regime, because people are generally
unsympathetic to the ills o others, and suspici-
ous, too, since the wave of heart murmur has
ravaged the ranks of Kefauver committee testl-
tlers. It Is getting so people summon the saw-
bones before thev call for the mouthpiece.
In common humanity there Is no real way of
saying that a person ain't sick; no physical
check up to determine the true extent ot Illness.
A man who believes himself to be sick, is sick,
and a man who says he Is sick cannot be proven
to be well. Not legally.
My doctor; for Instance, says I am twice as
healthy as a chorus girl, and nothing Is health-
ier than a chorus girl. But I have been dread-
fully 111 for a month, with all the symptoms of
flu, pneumonia, overwork, nervous exhaustion,
brain fever, creeping paralysis, and no money.
With March 15 on deck the last Is by far the
most serious symptom, even If tht doc can't find
it on the electrocardiograph. It It symptomatic
chiefly on the bank statement.
Nobody, under questioning, says he feels fine
any more. "Lousy," he says. "Don't know what
it Is. exactly, but for the past few weeks I...
And then proceeds to tell you in detail how
his head hurts and his heart burns and his
arteries harden and his sinus aches and his
antrums throb and his feet pain and his tummy
li upset. It is almost at If. at a given signal
everyone has prepared an alibi for whatever un-
pleasant contingency might affect him.
The array of Illnesses cited in recent resigna-
tions df cops in this town would stun the sta-
tisticians m Johns Hopkins. Never before, in
the history of police, has overwork and sundry
ill struck down so many, causing acute pangs in
the conscience and Immediate retirement. The
persistent ulcer hat become overpopular, too, as
reserves face reassignment to the services. I
Just don't know what's got Into us.
It Is Inconceivable that some deadly secret
virus It at work on 150 million people simul-
taneously, because I do not think that a virus
could gear itself so perfectly to emergency. In
my own recent miseries, they seemed to strike
with perfect timing always on the eve of
something I didn't want to do. It may be that
we are on the point of discovering a brand new
disease, which hits only on direct order from the
victim.
This It a probltm for psychiatrists, but
speechlessness teems to have stricken people
who are asked to talk on certain subjects before
grand Juries and Congressional committees. As
the patient learnt to talk again, It comes out
double. This is known as double talk, signify-
ing nothing.
Forgetfulness. too. It a symptom of the times.
People who used to have acute memories go
blank when atked vital questions. Total recall
hat vanished, to be replaced by total amnesia.
Curious.
So again, wt tympathlze with Mr. O'Dwyer,
down with the sneezes In sunny Mexico. We
trust he will recover In time to testify in better
days, and hope wt live to see It, Pass the Klee-
nex, dear. Kerchoo!
Pace Changes
By Bruce Biossit
SECRET'ARY OF DEFENSE MARSHALL took
time tht other day to comment sadly on the
growing complacency toward the U. S. defense
effort notable both In Congress and the nation
q t laroo
He pointed out that two months ago law-
makers were Irritably demanding to know wny
he wasn't doing more in mobilizing military
strength. Now they're wondering why the arm-
ed forces need so many men. _,_
This change of mood can be seen in many
places. President Truman Is basking in tht
Florida tun and Secretary of State Achfson
thinks It's safe to enjoy Bermuda for a while.
Congress appears pre-occupied with the Rrv
scandal, the crime Investigation, the Tydlnge-
Butler election squabble, and similar matters.
The House Is limping slowly on the 18-year-oio
draft Issue. The Senate Is In no hurry towtUe
the vital troops-for-Europe debate. There s tais,
that new taxes, rated a prime antl-inflatlon
weapon, mav not get attention soon enougn to
take effect before next Jan. 1.
The Pentagon is proceeding leUurely in wora>
ing out tht details of its expanding armaments
program. It's not ready to tell Congress what
it needs and how much It will cost. The legis-
lators aren't pressing for the Information.
What accounts for this relaxed mood? Many
things, apparently. Our recent limited but de-
finite gains on tht Korean front, leading us to
believe we may not get pushed off the peninsula
after all. A lot of second and third guessing
about Russia's ability and willingness to fight a
big war at this time. ._ ^
Not to be overlooked Is the Administrations
consistent failure to sustain a sense of urgency.
Many seasoned observers are agreed that nei-
ther the President nor any of hit chief political
and admlnUtratlve lieutenants understands how
to convey to the people a full realization of the
world situation.
It may well be that there is less actual dan-
ger than we believed two months ago. If that
Is so, part of the difference may be In a more
accurate appraisal of Russia's capacity to make
war In the years just ahead.
But part is almost certainly due to the fact
that we have made Important beginning strides
toward a real defense both at home and in Eu-
rope. Yet a good deal of that advance is pre-
liminary, largely to the realm of paper promises.
Though the promises are big enough to give
the Russians pause, they will continue to do so
only as they are translated Into reality Into
guns and tanks and planes and men. The
Kremlin will be quick to note and take ad-
vantage of any failure on our part.
If the situation is Indeed brighter than two
months ago. should it not be viewed simply as
proof that the Russians respect strength and
nothing more?
Why. then, do we see fit to relax* the pace of
our mobilization program at the very moment
it is beginning to pack real weight to the strug-
gle with Russia?
Basically, until paper Is turned into men and
steel, we're right where we were on Jan. l.
There's no European army worthy of the name
and the U. S. armed forces aren't greatly en-
larged. Munitions for us and Europe are still a
trickle.
We've killed a lot of Chinese Reds but we
haven't eliminated a single Russian soldier. The
huge Russian military establishment Is essen-
tially intact. It mav not be all we Imagined In
bur worst fears, but It's nothing to shrug off,
either.
We Americans will never be quite the political
equals of our Soviet friends until we stop swing-
ing like a pendulum from total alarm to total
indifference. It't neither growndup nor same. If
It wat right to January to build up our defenses.
It's not right to go fishing in March.

Drtw Ptorion soyi: Impovertghtd Albontons figure tttty
have nothing to lose) trying new experiments series
of wars mods them easy mark for Communism; Yugos-
lavs bitterly denounce Russia.
PEC, Yugoslavia. For most of one day I have driven along
what It sometimes called "the little Iron Curtain" the border
where Yugoslavia and Albania meet, for Yugoslavia enjoys the)
unenviable distinction of being squeezed between two sections t
the Iron Curtain with Bulgaria and Hungary on one side and Al-
bania on the other.
How tiny, primitive Albania chiefly a Mohammedan coun-
try happened to fall for Russian Communism has always been
a mystery to me. I lived on the Albanian border for two years
after the first World War, once crossed It on horseback, and Its
people at tha. time were rugged Individualists who hated all gov-
ernments, Including their own, with the passion of Pennsylvania's
high-tariff Joe Orundy. Perhaps the explanation is that Albania
is a nation of extreme poverty where the people have nothing to
lose by trying new experiments plus the fact that any nation torn
by a never-ending series of wart Is an easy mark for Communism.
At any rate, the border between Russianized Albania and anti-
Russian Yugoslavia now is studded with armed guards, and strang-
er are not permitted within 20 kilometers (about 12\'3 milesj.
I managed to remember enough of the local language to talk
my way past the first guard In the restricted zone and thereafter
managed to talk my way past guards who stopped our Jeep every
half hour until we had passed through the old Turkish Albanian
city of Prlzerend. the border town of Jakovltza, and Deceny mon-
astery one of the oldest to Serbia, but It now bristles with
armament. The Iron Curtain here Is not of barbed wire sa It
is around most satellite countries but consists of a steep mountain
range, Its base studded with troops.
DENOUNCE DOUBLE-CROSSING RUSSIANS
My purpose to visiting this Isolated, desolate part of the Bal-
kans was partly sentimental, partly to see whether the United
States Is getting credit for Its good program, partly to gaugt
Yugoslav sentiment toward Russia and the United 8tates lfl an
area far from the official blarney handed out by the diplomats
In Belgrade.
Regarding the food program, the United Statet hat givtn
the Yugoslav government 180,000,000 worth of flour with the un-
derstanding that they sell it through their regular ration system
but making It clear that the flour comes from us.' Its distribution
was organized under Richard Allen of Carmel, Calif., a former
Hoover food man who has also arranged for American Inspectors
to travel through the country. I traveled part of the time with
one of these inspectors efficient George Trett at he Inter-
viewed local officials and local farmers and It appears the United
Statet Is getting credit.
Regarding Yugoslav "feeling toward Russia, it seems similar
to that of the bride who has been Jilted at the church and then
watched her fiance marry another man. Yugoslav papers are fill-
ed with bitter denunciations of Russia, reminding the people
that anyone who deals with Russia always gets double -crossed
and even playing up the Russian double-cross history back to jy(J0
as if It were hot first-page news today.
Later, I heard Marshal Pijade, considered the father of Yugos-
lav Communism, address 50,000 people In one of the bitterest at-
tacks I have ever heard against Russia. Pijade was Jailed for 14
years by King Alexander, at which time he taught Marxurrto
other Yugoslav leaders but now Moscow calls him "the hideous
hunchback of Belgrade." When I heard him he quoted Thomaa
Dewey Walter Llppmann and Erneet Bevln as proof that Ruttla
Is a brutal nation and that the United States and England art
vigorously supporting Yugoslavia.
LESSON FOR U.g.
Thirty years ago I had charge of 100 Bulgar prisoners to a
diminutive Serbian village called Dobro Do, which means Good
Valley but the valley wasn't good, because it had been burned
out by the Bulgarian array and my Job was to rebuild the homes
of Serbian widows, using Bulgarian prisoners for labor. We alto
had a transport company of 100 conscripted Albanian, the Bulgar
prisoners and their Serbian guards discussing war and what caua-
el war.
That was in 1918 and they recalled that to 1912 Serbia and
Greece had fought Turkey, then In 1913 Bulgaria had fought Ser-
bia and Greece, and in 1914 the World War started. Thus for six
long years the Balkans were plunged in war war which neither
the Serbian guards nor their Bulgarian prisoners nor the Alba-
nian conscripts wanted. Their hope, they said, was Woodrow Wil-
son __he was going to proclaim a new world In which there would
be eternal peace.
Well the years have come and gone since then. Woodrow Wil-
son tried and failed, and Dobro Do since then once again was
ravished this time by the Germans, later by the Italians and
then liberated by the Russians who, at times, acted more like
conquerors than liberators.
This is the history of a typical Balkan village and when you
look round at the poverty which always follows In the wake of
war you understand why there Is Communism In the Balkans, for
people who are poor, who are bled white, who have nothing to
lose, trun to their desperation to desperate remedies.
This also may be a lesson for the United States for. If we get
Involved to war, its aftermath may find us nearer the Communism
which we are fighting so hard to avoid.

"And why not?" she queried.
"I'm 41, and never have had the

fact that life is slipping by

30 we've learned a little, and at
40 we are finally growing wise.
We should all be permitted to
go on another century after we
finally become useful."
And Barry Sullivan, who co-
stars with Miss Davis, injects a
note of humor Into his self analy-

"I'm a man who hates breakfast
and who awakens slowly," he
growled, sort of. "My wife knows
this. So she bustles around mer-

When I eat a little to please her,
I only feel grumpier."

Classics Compared
With 'Dime Novels'
By Iowa Grand Jury
DUBUQUE. la.. March 12, (UP)
County Attorney John Dufly,
who ordered police to seize liter-
ary classics in a "raid" on the
Public Library, sought expert
opinion on whether cheap books
on sale at newsstands are any
more obscene.
Duffy said he ordered the clas-
sics seized so that a Grand Jury
investigating obscene literature
at the behest of a group of Irate
women will have some basis for
comparison.
Duffy asked President Virgil M.
Handler of the University of
Iowa to send an English litera-
ture processor here to evaluate
the books for the Grand Jury
when it reconvenes today.
"We want an expert to help the
Grand Jury decide what is realis-
tic literature and what Is Just
plain smut," Duffy said. "I'm no
expert on obscene literature and
I don't think the grand Jurors are,
either."
While he may not be an expert,
Duffy is a well bred man. He has
read the classics and he knows
that some are provocative to say
thelea.it.
S oyesterday he ordered police
to seize Fielding's "Tom Jones,"
Eoccaccio's "Decameron," tne
works of Rahelais.
He singled out those, he said,
because "if any books are o5?
scene, they are."
Police walked into the library,
lowered their voices In accord-
witu the "qi'let" signs, and
oo.: dowii the copies from the
shelves. On their way out, they
pear before the Grand Jury.
She did, and told the Jurors
that in her opinion the books
seized at the library and several
others under discussion in the
"cleanup" campaign are not oo-
scene.
During the library raid, officers
asked Miss Clark for copies of
"Stretch on the River." a novel
by Dubuque native Richard Bis-
sell which has ilpured in the con-
troversy. Miss C.'arl: said all the
copies were on loan.

THURSDAY
NEW ORLEANS, March 12,
(UP) A 14-year-old red-head-
ed stripper who came to famous
Rampart Street from her quiet
hometown in Mississippi was in a
convent today and police held a
man who said he lived with her
for four months. -j
Juvenile authorities arresiecT,
the girl Saturday after viewing
her early morning show and "ex-
tra" activities at the Dog House
Night Club on North Rampart
Street, one of New Orleans' most
storied entertainment districts.
They said she took off every-
thing except a G-string and a
filmy brassiere, smoked cigar-
ettes and kept the customers hap-
py by doubling as a B-Glrl.
"Well, It's a living, isn't it?"
she said. "A girl's got to make a
living, hasn't she?"
Juvenile authorities put her in
the Convent of the Good Shep-
herd and arrested four persons at
the club, including her alleged
lover. Officers refused to com-
ment on the case today, and a
spokesman at the convent said
the background of all of its girl;
was unknown.
"We are not Interested In the
background of these girls here,
other than that they need help,"
the spokesman said.
Capt. William Walker, Sr., cf
the Juvenile Division of New
Orleans Police, identified the
love.- as Edward James Haley,
25. Others arrested were Robert
A. Martinez, 49, owner of the Dog
House Club; William Douglass,
master 'of ceremonies and Penny
Kelly, 25, another worker at the
club
Haley was booked on a charge
of having relations with a female
under 17 and the others were
charged with contributing to her j
delinquency and were paroled by
Crim'nal District Judge George
F.Platt.
Haley said he first thought the
girl was 18 or 19, and that when
he found out she was 14 he "con-
tinued living with her because I
was going to marry her." Haley
said he was trying to get a di-
vorce from his present wife.
Capt. Walker said the girl gave
her age as 20, and that she had
stripped in three or four other
shows in the French Quarter. Of-
ficers said the girl was ma'ure,
and could pass for 20.
She said she came to New Or-
leans from Brookhaven, Miss.,
last September to see her two sis-
ters and to be a dancer.
"I've never been a dancer be-
fore; there aren't any night clubs
in Brookhaven," she said.
She said the dancing Job didn t
require much talent.
"There's nothing to It. For my
first Job, I bought a costume, put
it on, went out on the stage and
took it off."
Strict Louisiana Juvenile laws
call for closed hearings in any of-
ficial consideration of the case.

"DARK CITY"
Superb drama of action and thrilling will opening next
Thursday at the Central Theatre.
HOLLYWOOD (NEA) Be-
hind the Screen: Lulse Ralner,
the Viennese doll who has two
Academy Oscars (1936 and 1938)
but who has appeared in only one
movie since 1944"and that we
don't talk about"has stopped
blushing when people ask her
"wot hoppened?"
' There's no cloak and dagger
mystery to it. Luises movie
personal disappearance was
partly her fault, which she ad-
mits, and, she says, partly Hol-
lywood's.
Starring here for two weeks in
"Joan of Lorraine" at the Ivar
Theater, the one-time cinematic
boxoffice blockbuster told me:
"I was very young. There were
a lot of things I was unprepared
for. I was too honest. I talked se-
rious instead of with my eyelash-
es and Hollywood thought I was
cuckoo.
"I worked In seven big pictures
in three years. I have to be In-
spired to give a good perform-
ance. I complained to a studio
executive that the source was
dried up. The executive told me:
Why worry about the source. Let
the director worry about that.'
"I didn't run away from any-
body in Hollywood. I ran away
from myself."
Lulse doesn't like to talk about
her last film seven years ago "be-
cause the studio tried to change
me into a glamor girl and it was
awful."
She now lives In New York as
Mrs. Robert Knittel (he's a pub-
lisher) and has a four-year-old
daughter, Francesca. She's been
touring with "Joan," on and off.
for three years and has started
on TV shows in N.Y. and (London.
During the war she entertained
GIs In Africa and Italy, and help-
ed find U.S. homes for European
war orphans. Now she has vari-
ous plans, a ha If hour video show,
a Broadway play, perhaps a mo-
vie. She says:
"I've set a Standard for myself.
I have a ereat desire to work in
things I likenot Just to work to
be working."
EYE FOR TALENT
David O. Selznlck might have
discovered Valll, Jennifer Jones,
Ingrid Bergman and Louis Jour-
dan, but. Bud Abbott and Lou
Costello are crowing about Shaye
Cogan. their TV find, who makes
her movie debut with them in
"The Real McCoy."
Shaye, a smaller edition of
Betty Hutton, listened shyly
while Costello told me how he
had first spotted her at New
York's Copacabana as a singer
and then signed her after
watching her on his TV screen
on the Vaughn Monroe show.
Lou predicts she'll be a big star.
"Actresses always do well after
they work with us," he says.
| "Take Marjorle Main. She was a
sick woman with five doctors
when she made 'The Wistful Wi-
dow from Wagon Gap' with us.
j When the picture was over, she
only had two doctors.".
